CIRCLE SAYS BID TOO HIGH Answering Recent Article in This Paper on Cook Booklet \ Editor of The Horry Herald: fiH? ? Fannie Currie Circle of the \w/nen's Missionary society of the Methodist church begs the use of enough of your valuable snnce to correct what seems to the circle a seriAiic ovvnv anrl vot'la/>f inn An tlio /II I'nl rt 1 M,,V4 twi ivvwivii VII WIIC VII VIC in the publication in last week's issue o/ The Horry Hertlftl of a statement in regard to certain cook hooks the circle has issued. The statement is made that for a few dollars dif ference a nice bit of printing was placed outside of Conway and the further statement that a bid was made by The Herald on five hundred copies Both of these statements are in error and calculated to give a bad impression of the ladies composing the circle. The ladies of this circle are second to nobody in loyalty to Con way and its enterprises and resen' any imputation that they are disloyal They desire, therefore, to make the following statement: When they went t?> The Field Pub lishing Co., for bids, Mr. Summerlyr , frankly stated he was not in a position to bid. When they went to The Herald they met a rather cool recep tion and a bid of $160 for 100 copies o - Piles Cured In 6 to 14 Day* Druggist* refund moo? jr If PAZO OINTMENT fails , to cur?

After being told the ladies had only a limited amount of money to spend The Herald stated that additional copies would be at a slightly lower rate. Feeling that they could not pay this much, the ladies tsked for bids elsewhere and a Hendersonville, N. C., Arm made a bid of 599.00 for 300 copies and the order was placed with them. A slight calI. 1.! ?? ? ? <1 ? i if i ? cuiauon win aiscio.se ine tact tnai instead of a few dollars difference it was in excess ol^OO. It will be noted, therefore, first, that the difference was a great, deal. Second, that the bid of The Horry Herald was on 100 copies and not on 300. The circle did not ask for bids on ?00 copies, but granting that The Herald would have printed the 300 copies wanted at their price for 100, namely $160.00, still the dMTerence is more than "a few dollars." The only additional expense incurred that would have been saved, had The Herald or The Field printed the book, is the freight,^ which amounted tor about $1.90. The circle wishes it understood that this statement is not made in any spirit of anger or spite, but simply that the public, to whom it is offering these books understand just why the work was sent away from Conway. These books are not being sold for the personal gain of anyone but to raise money to carry on the great work the Missionary societies are doing all over the world. Sbme of this money has already been spent to relieve suffering and wUnt right here in Conway. The ladies of the circle regret very much that The Horry Herald feels that it was not treated fairly and with this explanation they hope that The Horry Herald, along with the general public will understand why the work was sent away. The circle is glad to say that The Horry Herald has always been a generous supporter of their work and they hope it will continue to support the great work of the church in which the circle is engaged. Respectfully, Fannie Currie Circle of the Woman's Missionary Society. HERALD PRICE ON COOK HOOK Certainly Was Misquoted by Some of The Circle Committee AS TO THE DIFFERENCE County Newspaper Business v -Compared With Other Kinds in Country The .Horry Herald is glad to publish in this issue a reply from the Fannie Currie Circle of the Woman's Missionary society to the article recently appearing in which The Herald expressed how it felt about the printing of a cook book that is being issued by the circle; and in which it was stated that the work had been sent to another town. We are glad to know that they sent this work off and spent the money elsewhere because they believed they could get the work done cheaper elsewhere than in Conway. We deny, however, that we quoted, or meant to charge the prices for this work that are set forth in the article. Our figures were not quoted direct to the ladies of the circle, but were applied for by a gentleman who is outside the circle, and who was asking for the bids in behalf of the circle; so that it is plain that the ladies of the circle misunderstood the figures as received by them, and not investigating further, labored under the impres - 11 A. i.1 1 J 1 1_ _1 I sion mai tney wouia De overcnargeu, We most emphatically deny that we would ever charge any such price as $309.00 or even $300 for this lot oi books as printed. It strikes us now as it did before that there was a lack of confidence on the part of those who had the giving out of this work ir charge that The Herald would give a fair deal and charge only an honesl price considering the quality of the paper and other materials used anc the care and skill that would be employed in doing the work. In proof of the evident error thai took place some way in the transmission of the figures, we will state thai one of our men was told whfen he ask ed the gentleman who had acted foi the committee in obtaining a bid fron The Herald office, as to the success 01 the bid submitted; that there wai only a very little difference in the bic of The Herald and that of t^e Hen dersonville concern. So the genera public will see that we had the righi to state that there was only a smal difference in the bids made. W< were never given by him to under stand that there was a difference o is much as $300. Such a different ts that is out of the bounds of al reason, and we should have been giv 3n the opportunity of correcting th< ?*rror which some of those interested :n the matter had made.

Pleasant to take. COoperbottl HE HORRY HERALD, OOWWA1 there was a long time when it did not appear just what size the book would be nor just how many they would have printed. Now as to the indifference that is mentioned in the article. We will recall and here mention that on one occasion some of the ladies called to talk about the booklet. In the course of the conversation about the number i and the price, one of the committee remarked that this same book had recently been printed in Kinjrstree, either three hundred for $50.00 or one hundred for $50.00, we cannot now recall the number that was stated. The foreman of the shop then frankly told them that he could not compete with those figures under any circumstances as he could not afford to furnish good paper or do a good job and lose money at that price no matter how he did it. This may have caused somewhat of a* coolness about the proposition, for it did not seem fair to compare the work and the paper that The Herald had offered with the price of $50.00 which would entail an actual loss on the print shop if it were undertaken. Investigation afterwards brought out the information that the work was done in Kingstree for the $50.00 in the case as mentioned, but the printer, or one of his family was a member of the church or society that got it out, and owned I the printshop where the work was done; and he was therefore donating the work as we decided exceDt as to the whole or perhaps a part of the -actual cost of the work. The bid of The Herald was submitted only after a careful going over of the matter submitted, considering the quantity which it was at that time expected would be ordered, and the cost of the materials of the finest grade that would be used in printing the book. Our estimate was based on the guarantee that the work would be carefully and correctly done, on a better grade of paper for the inside cf the booklet and a better grade of cover paper than the grades which were actually used in printing ihe book. And if The Herald had been successful and the work had come out with errors in it, as we see it did, not one cent would have been charged for it until it was all done over and the correction made. The figures were submitted to the committee on a piece of memorandum paper torn from the top sheets of a tablet and an explanation was made verbally at the time as to the grades of paper and the changes as to price n#?r hundred if more than one hunck jd were taken, and when later we have asked for this memorandum, we are told that it has been lost. We kept no copy of it at the time as we usually do, and therefore we have gone over the matter again and wade nnother enreful estimate just as much like the first as it is possible for us to do, and after having been told that there was but a small difference in I the bids submitted from The Herald I and from the Hendersonville man. Our price on the printing of the booklets, using the same grade of paper for both inside and cover as nearly as possible like the paper the circle act' ually got on the job, guaranteeing a 1 nice piece of work, as follows: Booklet (500) Pages $88.00; folding, $19.20; cover, r $23.50; stapling, etc., $2.30; total $133,00; 300, $104.00. How our figures could have been , misunderstood is more than we can ; tell. When they thought that the printing of the books in Conway would cost them $300 more than it : did in Hendersonville, they were mis1 taken. Such a difference would have i been out of all reason as we have al? ready said. ; As we said before there was not the chance of supervising the work when done in a distant town that : would have been possible if the work had been done here. When this lot , of books came to hand and showed up 5 with the error on the back they could ; haye been refused until new covers X_U II M I Indigestion | 'i Had very severe attacks of HJ Indigestion, writes Mr. M, H. wsde, s farmer, of R.

If the pi-inter had made d Vihfeap price on the work and had to hurry up and slight it in order to cut down his loss to some extent, he should have been made to deliver a pej*fect job. The paper that we planned to use both inside and out was much better looking and cost about twice as much as the paper and the cover that was used by 'he Hendersonville printer. Like the ladies who have answered our squib, The Herald is also without any animosity or feeling of spite or illwill toward anybody, not even the ?T J? Ml f . ' " nenuersonviiie nrm tnat got tne work we thought would be given us. We have, and have always had, the deepest interest in the success of the many great movements that are being carried out in the past by the ladies of the different organizations in Conway. When they have come to The Herald to enlist the aid of the paper in any of those undertakings, we have ever be&n glad and more than willing to open the columns of the paper to do what we could to help the movement along. We are the same today that we have been. Nothing like this booklet incident can have any effect whatsoever on The Herald's attitude to these movements. The fact is that the paper needs whatever it can get in the way of financial patronage to enable it to be and become what it ought to be as a force for good, and the fact truly is that it has been run too much at private expense, i We call the attention of the people, j while we are on the subject, to the fact that leading merchants having only about half as much money invested in their stores as has been put in The Herald equipment, can make money and get ahead from year to year and spread out to wider and bigger fields of progress and usefulness, while if the present owner of The Herald had nothing except the paper to depend on, he could not support his family in decent style with that income he f?ets from this business. Think of it! Remember that there has not been a newspaper in the county in all this time that has been able to depend on its own income for its support and development. The present owner of The Herald is a lawyer and has been for all these years. He has to do the work of two or three men in order that The Herald may be produced and continue to go. Remember when the owner of the Field, Mr. Power W. Bethea, had to take a job as superintendent of the Burroughs high school; Hon. E. J. Sherwood who once owned The Field became a lawyer and sold the paper to Mr. Bethea. Later Mr. Bei/t I 01 I We use the ] | Coca-Cola?t from all imi tutes.

Notice the fact that the newspaper business has to have those who can do two or more thhigs at once or. else it cannot run. There is a great big fact to be learned from this and we hope that all readers wilj now understand the reason why we need all of the support and encouragement that can be had in order to keep on existing, while other kinds of business are able to stand on their own feet. o -CITATION NOTICE STATE OF SOUTH^CAROLINA, UVUIN I I Ur HUKItY.

The first ia that religion today stands medieval theology; the second that science ia materialistic and irreligious."

"The purpose of science is to develop, without prejudice or preconception of any kind, a knowledge of the facts, the laws and the processes, of nature. The even more important task of religion, on the other hand is to develop the consciences, the ideals, and the aspirations of mankind. Each of these two activities represents a deep and vital function of the soul of man, and both are necessary for the life, progress and the happiness of the humap race. "It is a sublime conception of God which is furnished by science, and one wholly consonant with the highest ideals of religion, when it represents Him as revealing Himself through countless ages in the development of the earth as an abode for man and in the age long in breathing of life into its constituent matter, culminating in man with his spiritual nature and all his Godlike powers." o Purchase hne writing paper at Lne Herald office. ? o L.
